Abstract

"scoreLight" and "scoreBots" are two experimental platforms for performative sound design and manipulation. Both are essentially synesthetic interfaces - synesthetic musical instruments - capable of translating free-hand drawings into a sonic language of beats and pitches, all in real time. While scoreLight uses a modified "smart" laser scanner to track the figure's relevant features (in particular contours), scoreBots rely on one or more tiny line-follower robots to do the same. We present here some of our latest experimentations in an informal way.
